Defining My Core Strengths


From cvlabs.ca

If you are an investment, what sort of return can the employer expect?

Let's save this for later.




What job scenarios made you feel really good about the work you've done?

Whenever I'm not sure about pricing for something, be it a phone or a piece of sports memorabilia; I overestimate it purposefully.

When you double check later and it's lower, the customer will be surprised and delighted. It shows thinking on your feet and working on making the end user or customer pleased.

What kind of targets have been relatively easy for you to achieve or exceed?

Fix/Repair in a school environment; Around 15 - 20 instances a week.

What kind of work results have consistently popped up throughout your career? What helped you achieve those?

Things that almost work, but not quite UNTIL I talk to someone else and get another perspective on the situation; It shows teamwork and a willingness to learn.

Were you recognized by your peers and colleagues for any specific qualities or achievements? 

My focus was more on my work. I didn't socialize that much. I'm working on helping others and making myself known.

Have you ever been handpicked for a specific project or task? If so, why you?

Yes; We needed forms to be made, and wasn't sure if said forms could be made in Microsoft Word.

Head of IT appointed me to the job because I was the most reliable and would do the research to get it done.

After researching, I saw that yes, you can actually make forms in Microsoft Word to be printed out.

The result was a paper survey that looked professional.

Back to #1...

If you are an investment, what sort of return can the employer expect?

Me doing the job you hired me for. If I'm hired by you, and I choose you, I like your company. Within reason, I will go above and beyond because of brand loyalty, capability, and building stronger networks with others.

EMPLOYERS: This is me showing self-awareness.

Making KPI Dashboards with PowerBI

 While this is the free tier, I cannot share or collaborate with others, nor can I publish content to other people's workspaces, but they will not stop me from screenshooting and recording these self-taught adventures,so! I'm doing this because I idly searched "Mattel careers" and "Information Technology", and seeing a bulletpoint saying the following: Analytical and reporting skills such as creating dashboards and establishing KPIs such as experience with PowerBI, Cognos, Tableau, and Google Data Lake/AWS is preferred And thought "Well, I've used Tableau, and I've heard about PowerBI,  even if its in-demandness is questionable , so how similar is it? And can I write about it?"  First, PowerBI (PIB) does have a downloadable, local version, but apparently Windows-only. I could download the .exe but I couldn't run it / drag it to applications on my MacBook.  Not a problem, we'll use the online SaaS version, and a dataset found here, ...

Connecting IoT Devices to a Registration Server (Packet Tracer, Cisco)

 If you're seeing this post, I'm helping you, and you probably have LI presence: React and share this post to help me in return.   In Packet Tracer, a demo software made by Cisco Systems. It certainly has changed a lot since 2016. It's almost an Olympic feat to even get started with it now, but it does look snazzy. This is for the new CCNA, that integrates, among other things, IoT and Automation, which I've worked on here before. Instructions here . I don't know if this is an aspect of "Let's make sure people are paying attention and not simply following blindly", or an oversight - The instructions indicate a Meraki Server, when a regular one is the working option here. I have to enable the IoT service on this server. Also, we assign the server an IPv4 address from a DHCP pool instead of giving it a static one. For something that handles our IoT business, perhaps that's safer; Getting a new IPv4 address every week or so is a minimal step against an...

AWS Infrastructure Composer

 A very brief look. The text says; Drag and drop any CloudFormation resource on a visual canvas Connect and configure enhanced components to automatically build IaC for an application architecture Seamlessly transition between authoring workflows visually with Step Functions Workflow Studio and defining resources with Infrastructure Composer Integrate your browser with your project through “local sync” or use Composer in the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code In 2019 there was a similar tool to build infrastructure that would be converted to code. Nice to know they bought it back. When you enter the Composer, it's a blank space with a background reminiscent to the screen for Cloud Formation. Infrastructure Objects are to the left in a drawer;  I've selected a bucket that I can rename. I went to connect a bucket to a Dynamo DB Table, and it's not available yet. It also lost a bucket somewhere in the ether of the GUI. Ah well. I couldn't find the EC2 instance in the...
